OBSERVATION: I am struggling to understand.
You pay $250,000 to get into a tiny vessel with 4 other people to submerge yourself under 2.5 miles of water.... where the water pressure equals some 3 tons per square inch ..... in order to look at the wreckage of a vessel that sank more than 100 years ago. And most of the observations will be done on TV screens, as the vessel has only one tiny window.
In my friend’s Iverson voice: "Look at! We talking about looking at! Not actually exploring or touching. Just to look at?!".
The company that you are going with tells you upfront that they have no "Rescue" capacity. If anything goes wrong with your little vessel....engine trouble, buoyancy trouble, oxygen trouble....the company that is taking you has NO WAY of rescuing you.
And yet, you pay your $250,000 and happily climb into the tiny little vessel and head out on your voyage to the bottom of the sea.
Fast forward 24 hours....you haven't returned. Now, everyone is scrambling to find you and "rescue" you. Not the company that took you down there....everyone else.
I know that I am a heartless bastard, but, I couldn't care less. If they are able to find them and rescue them, then my hat goes off to the rescuers. Being able to mount a rescue operation at 13,000 feet below sea level in under 30 hours would be a herculean feat and the people who are able to do that deserve our admiration. Hopefully, in doing that they learn somethings about deep sea rescues that can be useful in the future and that they don't endanger any other lives. And, if they are able to pull it off, I hope they give the bill for the effort to the company and the occupants!
But if you are willing to risk your life doing these feats of daring do, then you have to be willing to accept the consequences if you fail. It would be more worthwhile if you risked your life trying to do something that was of more value and importance to the human race than just looking at a 100 year old ship wreck. I can see risking your life going on a space orbit mission, or a mission to the moon or Mars. The more knowledge we can gather on space travel the better, so that is worth the risk to me. But going to look at a 100 year old shipwreck? I'll pass. 🤦🤦🙄🙄
Better they go watch the movie "Titanic".
Same thing. Less risk.
🚨 #BREAKING: A top secret US Navy acoustic detection system first picked up on the Titan submersible implosion just HOURS after the sub began its mission on Sunday, officials involved told WSJ.
Almost immediately after the sub lost communication with its mothership, the Navy began listening in. Shortly thereafter, the U.S. system detected what it suspected was the sound of an implosion near the debris site which was discovered on Thursday.

@ASAPYems @Monmartt_page @mrmacaroni I've answered all questions from you but you failed to respond to mine. I don't think there's any need for me to go on with this conversation
@ASAPYems @Monmartt_page @mrmacaroni They equal to experience in governance, administration, management and service but you tell me where GRV did all that that makes you think he's the next thing for Lagos?
